LOL no no sumi. Go read this, it's only 3 pages. It is quite interesting. http://www.sufficientself.com/threads/5-water-storage-myths.15027/ It would be good practice and then you would have good clean water stored. LOL

It is great to re-gift things. My friends would not mind. Now don't you have flee markets or thrift stores. We still have some garage sales and moving sales here going into winter. If you lived closer you wouldn't have to buy much. To get canning jams, jellies, tomatoes, pickles and yes, like...

I am sure she is charging exactly what the market will bear in her area. Otherwise she would have to lower her prices to move the things. I do believe there are people out there that think the most expensive and most pretty things are the best. We know better than that in normal life...I think.

@MoonShadows My chickens use more than 10 gallons in a day. I know I am not prepared. I am storing all that food in my pantry because I try to e thrifty and buy in larger amounts when on sale. I don't plan on being here if and when the SHTF. Then you know where you can get some main staples. If...

I don't try to think really long term. I can protect myself very well. I can eat out of my pantry for over a year. I have water canned but only 10 gallons. I have a 10 gallon jug that I put one drop of clorox in every few months. That's all. It only my hubby and myself and if we run out of...

Well I knew the woman. She is now 35 years old and will not can anything. She won't even talk about it. I said, "but if you learn correctly these things won't happen...". She said, if she ever fed anyone and they got sick and died they would look at her for murder. She said she could never take...

Thank you....Guess you can tell I love flowers along with canning and my greenhouse... LOL

This is another flower that I have growing in the greenhouse This bloomed a little while back but I am trying to keep and enjoy the summer for as long as I can.

So I am not ready to give up the joys of summer yet. I know some of you all over the world are having beautiful flowers but we are not in my neck of the woods. so I want to share what I have this week as it will end soon. My Camellia in the greenhouse. My Datura in my hot tub room. Alice...

Yes I have been there before. So where did your wonderful grandma open her first store?

Wow, waretrop is very impressed.....:thumbsup

Wow, very cool. Do you make all that stuff on premisses..?

@MoonShadows , Now I realize why you didn't understand my directions. That is running valley not white church...Dang it. sorry....I was past there 2 times today and just saw the sign..... Did you hear me honk at 9ish and 2ish.....? If you looked you would have seen a yellow streak....of...

About 15 years ago a young wife canned for the first time. That next spring her husband got deathly sick. The health department come into her house and tested all kinds of things. They discovered it was something the young wife canned. The husband recovered and they looked into her trying to...

Here in the US or at least in Pa and NJ if someone is getting a bank loan, the bank will require a mold test. If it comes back positive the seller must fix it and if that sale falls through they must document it on the next sale.

Yes my grandma inverted grape juice and maybe apple sauce to seal them. They showed me and I did that for a year. As I learned I water bathed them after that. I have gone by most rules until this last year, Now I bend them a little.:celebrate

So you know, It would take longer to ooze than 3 or 4 weeks, I would think if the jars were really sealed. Do you think she didn't even actually water bath them. My old neighbor was taught by someone to put hot food in hot jars and invert them or something and they would seal y themselves. They...

No wait. I am confused. I put lemon in my tomatoes in the jar to make sure they are acid enough as some newer tomatoes are lower acid. I also use vinegar or alum in my water of the canner, not in the jars to keep the metal nice and clean..... It sounds like someone got mixed up here. Is it me???

Oh my @sumi That is not good. Here in the US the best thing to do is get a company that removes mold from houses to do it. First you have to find how it is getting there. I know they remove wall coverings and take them away and treat the mold with chemicals that kill it... To live in a house...

@lcertuche I don't know about that.. Anything that keeps moisture and doesn't all it to dry out will grow mold. I do know black mold begins to grow in 3 days. If the area dries out just a little before, days the count begins all over again upon wetness returning.
